NWMA HEALTH AND SAFETY STATEMENT
THE NORTHWEST MINING ASSOCIATION (NWMA) IS COMMITTED TO AN INJURY FREE WORKPLACE FOR ALL EMPLOYEES: “The NWMA sincerely believes that all injuries are preventable.”

Northwest Mining Association recognizes that each member company addresses the health and safety of its employees in different ways, and each member company is committed to an injury free workplace so that everyone can go home safe and healthy after each day’s work. The NWMA’s Health & Safety Committee has requested company members to share their health and safety standards on the NWMA’s website for everyone interested in improving their health and safety culture.

The members of the NWMA Health and Safety Committee feel that posting company health and safety standards on the NWMA website will allow for the sharing of best practices, leading to minimizing health and safety incidents in the mining industry.

Best practices are ways to better achieve health and safety results by eliminating hazards or controlling risks. They offer examples of procedures for others who are trying to control similar risks and achieve better results.

If you are a company interested in having your health and safety standards posted on the NWMA website to share your company’s best practices please contact Deanna Shooter: dshooter@nwma.org
